Topic: AMG 2008 Meet and Greet (Read 5902 times)

Before I start planning this years Meet & Greet I'd like to here everyone's suggestions. What do you expect from this main event? Fort those of you who attended last year please give me your feedback as to what you liked and didn't like about the evening. Was the evenings entertainment an asset or was it a distraction? Was the event long enough and was the amount and type of food sufficient? Any and all feedback welcomed.

The finger food was very good. We both like that sort of munching while we are doing cocktails.

Now as for Mexico City, la Rosa Zona is in the gay red light district so perhaps a suitable performer might be in order.

HAHAHA! You pervs, I'm right there with you, but I'm thinking a juggler or balloon sculptor would be appropriate since we'll be serving Shirley Temples to Mini and her mom!

I loved the food and would've/should've eaten more, and probably will if available so I don't drink as much. Many of you know I was over-served in San Francisco; fortunately Robert and Jan and Rocky and everyone who stayed late got my back and brought my stuff home safe.

In all honesty, it was great just having an appropriate-sized space with a bar, a microphone to address the group, and adequate transportation to and from our hotel.

I've thought that it might be fun to be our own entertainment, like perhaps Karaoke, or some type of "awards" presentation (but not lip-syncing; because no, absolutely not, Robert, will Mama Cass make an appearance in Mexico.)

Karaoke . . . does this mean that I have to dust off my old, and I mean old, Carol Channing routine? You know "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" and who doesn't love "Hello Dolly"? But ladies and gentlemen, now that that the airlines are imposing extra charges for addition bags the steamer trunk will have to be left in Milwaukee.

Well then...if we are sans steamer trunk, then we just may have to settle for the Mexican Hat Dance! After a hefty enough amount of tequila, there's no telling what the "meet and greet" may turn into....

Hi, about suggestions... i wonder if someone can help us. As you know the spanish forums were just launched, and it happens that there are some mexican members viewing the forums and they seem to be interested i joining your activities during AMG 08. I wonder if anyone from those attending the conference is fluent in spanish so you can perhaps participate in a thread i started in the spanish forums about this, some people from mexico want to attend but have no clue on what to do and whom to talk to.... neither do i.

Your help will be extremely thanked

Thanks

Juan Carlos (by the way, i think it is a good think that some native mexicans can join you during AMG since they know the city more perhaps they can help you out in organising some stuff...)
